No, my reporting the fact that the perps in all of these crimes have been black does not make me a racist. Facts are facts. But most of the national media (except USA Today and Fox) is apparently afraid to make that point, referring to these chicken-bleep creeps as “wandering youths” instead of calling them out as what they are: black street thugs. Of course if a white street thug clocked a black Grandma, the media would have apoplexy.

Reverend Al Sharpton (I really want to attend his service some Sunday, where is his church again?) took to the airwaves and made a half-hearted statement: “No matter who it is . . . we must denounce it.” Huh? We know who it is, Reverend! It’s on video!

Wouldn’t it be great if our “post-racial president” would get in front of a microphone, sans teleprompter, and call out the black moms and dads who raised (or failed to raise) these monsters? Their DNA is in the blood and the fists of these bad-asses – do they have any remorse? Do they feel responsible for the acts of their “children”? Is anybody accountable for anything any more? Obama was quick to excoriate George Zimmerman, at the time believing premature press reports that a white guy had attacked a poor defenseless black kid.

And is it any coincidence that these attacks take place in cities where it is illegal for any citizen to carry a gun for self-defense? You can bet that if a pedestrian witnessing an assault like this popped the perp with a .38, he would end up in the penitentiary. But if these “youths” knew it was a possibility, there might be some deterrence. A knockout game in Lansing, MI went awry when the victim shot the perp twice.

We all hoped that the election of our nation’s first black president would finally, once and for all, end racism. Like almost everything else about life in America over the last five years, it has become worse.
